My Peacefully Chaotic Life

Today was a better day than I thought it would be! I was sooooo tired and the thought of facing household chores and homeschooling just did not excite me. The house is a wreck since we have been gone so much lately. But for my own peace of mind I try to focus on what I have accomplished rather than all there is to be done.

GM has asked the European Union for an additional 4 billion dollars. Now many people interested in end times prophecy think they need to watch the United Nations. But actually the EU is the one to pay attention to. It is bad enough that within the last 6 months everything has been put in place for the American government to be in control of finance, major industry. and health care but now it is being extended to include the EU! Speaking of health care, the Obama's newest bill will take away health workers rights to deny participation in procedures that go against their religious beliefs. The Bush administration had signed legislation to protect health care workers from such persecution.
